Extreme Solo hike. Sarek 2023 Episode two. My coldest night ever. 4K.
My coldest night ever. Sarek winter tour 2023 part two. Finally, the hunt for cold is starting to pay off and I got to experience my coldest night ever inside Sarek on my winter trip. A lot happened on this trip, apart from extreme cold I experienced several setbacks. Among other things, broken equipment inside Sarek, severe cold, interrupted summit tour due to avalanche. But it has been an incredibly strong experience.
To feel that the equipment is standing inside the Sarek of the mountain world, all the stresses that are.
To really know that the sleeping bag, the sleepingpad (Exped downmat tt 9), the reinforcement clothes stand up and can handle the more extreme conditions and strong extreme cold.
I still use my Helsport fjellheimen x-trem 3 camp. It has been in some real storms now and is fixed in several places. All tent poles have been replaced with stronger ones after one tent pole broke. All tent lines are replaced with the thicker 3 mm ones from Hillebergs. The tent cloth is sewn/fixed in six different places. So the tent now almost has a soul of its own. The trip from part one ended after a four-day long severe storm with an orange warning in Rinim about two miles from the STF sitasjaure cabins.
I now continue in a completely new mountain host, where the ground has turned to ice from the advance of the storm. I circle Ähpar and make my way further and further into Sarek's heart. You will see both scenic mountains and dilapidated cabins/shacks inside Sarek National Park. But also nice views from an interrupted summit tour.
All equipment for cross-country skiing adventures is subjected to great stress and tested to the limit. On this trip, I'm testing new touring skis, namely Åsnes Nansen. In one instance, all the clothes also go on, Rab Expedition downboots, the down jacket and Marmot thickest warmest down gloves. Also Norröna Lyngen Down850 Knickers and Mountain Equipment K7 down jacket.
